Question

2x-y+8z=13
3x+4y+52=18
5x-2y-72=20​

Answer 1

In my opinion the best way to solve these equations are elimination, therefore I will be giving my answer in this way!

2x-y+8z=13 1️⃣

3x+4y+52=182️⃣

5x-2y-72=203️⃣

We first combine liked terms in equation 2 and 3.

2️⃣turns into 3x+4y=-34 let's call it 2️⃣'

3️⃣turns into 5x-2y=92 let's call it 3️⃣'

Then solve for x

3️⃣'*2

10x-4y=184

3️⃣+2️⃣

13x=150

x=150/13

Now substitute the x back into equation 2️⃣'

3*150/13+4y=-34

450/13+4y=-442/13

4y=-892/13

2y=-446/13

y=-223/13

Now we can substitute this back into 1️⃣ to solve for z

2*150/13- - 223/13+8z=169/13

523/13+8z=169/13

8z=-354/13

4z=-177/13

z=-177/52

This problem is kind of messy so let me restate my answer!

x=150/13

y=-223/13

z=-177/52

I really hoped this is correct and it helped, and would appreciate it if you give me brainlliest! If you have any more questions about my solution please ask me in the comments!
